Chapter 2200: Why don't we give it a try?

Ye Zhangqing told the girl not to worry about anything else, just focus on doing the task well.

Upon hearing this, the maid respectfully nodded and quickly left.

Wang Yu and the others coming was something Ye Zhangqing was confident about, and it had only just begun.

In the hall, Wang Yu and the others began eating one after another, each with grease dripping from their mouths.

Especially those disciples who were tasting Ye Zhangqing's cooking for the first time were utterly astonished.

Originally, when the elders said they were bringing them to see the world, they couldn't help but scoff.

As Immortal Clan descendants and sect disciples, they considered themselves well‑worldly, having seen every kind of scene.

Especially upon arriving at this canteen and seeing its shabby décor, they were greatly disappointed.

Just a few broken stools and dilapidated tables— is this what you call seeing the world?

But when the first bite of food went down, many disciples could no longer hold back.

The flavor of the food left them momentarily unable to describe it.

Bowing their heads, they frantically shoveled the food into their mouths.

The hall was filled with the sounds of swallowing and chewing; seeing everyone eat so deliciously, the two loose cultivators who arrived first couldn't help but gulp.

There was nothing they could do— Wang Yu and the others were eating too fragrant.

Moreover, looking at Wang Yu and the others like this, there was no trace of any great clan's bearing; each seemed like a starving ghost reborn.

One of the loose cultivators couldn't help but whisper.

"Why don't we give it a try?"

"Huh???"

Upon hearing this, the other swallowed his saliva, though still feeling a pang of regret, and said.

"You're crazy— it's ten thousand immortal crystals per serving."

The two were not scions of any great clan, nor disciples of any major sect; their coming to Wuji Xiancheng was also to seize an opportunity.

Although they had earned some wealth lately, ten thousand immortal crystals for a single meal— really too much for them to afford.

Struggling to keep the last shred of sobriety, upon hearing this, the one who spoke first immediately continued.

"Just try it once, to see what it tastes like— look, the Wang Family Head and the others are doing the same......................."

As soon as those words were spoken, the other fell into silence.

As the head of the Wang family, Wang Yu has eaten every mountain delicacy and sea treasure imaginable.

And now, seeing him eat with such sweet fragrance, it truly sparked curiosity in the two.

"Is this thing really that delicious?"

After a long silence, their hearts hesitated— on one hand they were genuinely curious, on the other the price was truly high.

But as the last person finished serving the food, found a seat, lowered his head and began eating heartily, the two loose cultivators finally couldn't hold back.

Their feet seemed to move of their own accord toward the food; seeing this, the girl responsible for serving meals smiled and asked.

"Would the two gentlemen like to dine?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded stiffly, whereupon the girl asked again.

"What grade would you like?"

"Just give us the lowest grade."

They were reluctant to take even two meat and two vegetable dishes; even the lowest grade of one meat and one vegetable made them waver back and forth, and only when they could no longer resist did they decide to give it a try.

Upon hearing this, the girl accepted twenty thousand immortal crystals and immediately gave each of them a bowl of rice.

Looking at the bowl in their hands, if someone had told them earlier that this single bowl would cost ten thousand immortal crystals, they would surely have called the other a lunatic.

But now, the two have spent ten thousand immortal crystals just to eat this bowl of food.

Just thinking about it feels unbelievable.

They found a deserted corner and sat opposite each other; the low stools and old table exuded a sense of shabbiness.

Only the food before them was truly a sky‑high price.

They took a cautious bite; ten thousand immortal crystals meant not even a grain of rice could be wasted.

As the food entered their mouths, they at first chewed slowly, after all it was so expensive that they naturally wanted to savor it fully.

But after just two or three breaths, their chewing speed began to increase.

The expression in their eyes turned to utter shock, their eyes widening.

However, at this moment they had no time to speak; like Wang Yu and the others, they simply lowered their heads and gulped down big mouthfuls.

A large bowl of food couldn't last long; it was soon cleared out completely.

Those who had finished eating were still savoring the flavor; Wang Yu and the others couldn't help but rise and get another bowl.

"Can we add another bowl?"

"Certainly, sir, would you like the same as before?"

"Yes."

"Thirty thousand immortal crystals."

"Huh???"

This time Ye Zhangqing didn't impose any limit— as long as they paid, it was fine.

Upon hearing thirty thousand immortal crystals, Wang Yu froze for a moment, his gaze complex as he looked at the smiling girl.

Thirty thousand immortal crystals? After only a brief moment, without saying more, he obediently produced thirty thousand immortal crystals and got himself another bowl.

Even as the head of the Wang family, the cost of these two bowls— sixty thousand immortal crystals vanishing just like that— still caused him a pang of regret.

In the span of a moment, sixty thousand immortal crystals were gone.

Watching the family head add another big bowl of rice, several Wang family disciples who had come together couldn't sit still, swallowing their saliva.

The one at the front stepped forward, drooling as he spoke.

"Uncle, can I have another bowl?"

One bowl isn't enough, especially while watching the family head eat right in front of you—that's even more unbearable.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu didn't lift his head, speaking indistinctly.

"If you want to eat, go buy it yourself."

"I... I don't have any spirit crystals."

"If you're out, just endure it—I already treated you all to a bowl earlier."

Wang Yu refused without hesitation.

Just kidding, the cheapest bowl costs ten thousand spirit crystals; buying one makes Wang Yu's heart bleed, and you still want more?

Seeing Wang Yu no longer speak, that Wang family descendant hesitated, then stood up, went back to the food, and bought himself the cheapest bowl.

But this time he paid with his own money, watching the girl skillfully take ten thousand spirit crystals, and it really hurt.

Earlier he didn't spend his own money, so he didn't feel this, but this bowl—he really took out ten thousand spirit crystals from his own pocket.

Fortunately, as the food entered his mouth, the indescribable deliciousness spread, and his sorrow eased somewhat.

"Delicious, really delicious."

Watching the Wang family leader's descendant pay and buy another bowl, others followed suit, stepping forward.

Although it hurts and is absurdly pricey, you can't resist—after one bowl you want another; who can endure that?

The girl responsible for collecting money quickly filled one Space Ring, and had to replace it with a brand-new Space Ring.

Indescribable shock filled his heart—could obtaining these spirit crystals really be this easy?
